Bonding:

If an inmate is awaiting court and has a bond on their charges, they may be bonded out in the following manners: 

Property Bond – The owner of property in McDuffie County must bring their current Tax Assessment Form or a Bond Letter as verification of ownership and value to the jail and use the property as collateral to sign a Property Bond. A valid photo ID is also required. If the property is owned in any other county in Georgia the bond must originate through the Sheriff’s Office in that county. The bond must then be delivered to the McDuffie County Jail  in an envelope sealed by the issuing authority.  

Cash Bond – The full amount of the bond is paid, along with the processing fee. 

Bail Bondsman – Please see the records clerk or call 706-595-3862 for a current list of approved bondsmen. 

Under Georgia Law, a fee of $20.00 is assessed for each bond originating in McDuffie County. This fee must be paid in cash
